The BATTLES & BRAWLS update adds a new way to play Warriors of Waterdeep: BATTLE MODE! Now you can battle other Warriors of Waterdeep players in PVP combat!
In Battle Mode, you lead a party of 4 heroes randomly selected from your roster into an arena to battle another player’s group of heroes. The winning player earns Trophies and a Battle Chest as a reward, while the defeated player loses Trophies.
Trophy Points unlock higher-ranked arenas, which offer a better prize pool.
Unlocking Battle Mode
Battle Mode is unlocked when two conditions are met:
- You have at least 4 heroes unlocked
- You have defeated Bonebreaker - the first leader in the Frostsilver Mines.
Starting Battle Mode
To enter Battle Mode, tap the Battle button in the Adventure tab of the Yawning Portal.
The current Arena appears in the list. Tap the info button to view additional details about the Arena and the available Battle chests.
Tap Fight to search for an opponent and begin.
Matchmaking
You are matched with an opponent in the same arena/based on your trophy count.
Once the opponent is found, the initiative dice are rolled.
Your team color is BLUE. Your opponent’s team color is RED.
The player with the highest result takes the first action.
Rules
Battles take place in new arenas set in the locations of Warriors of Waterdeep.
Each arena contains five zones. The teams start in the middle, within attacking range of each other. Your opponent’s RED team starts at the top; your BLUE team starts at the bottom.
All heroes gain the BLOCK ability for the duration of their first action. The BLOCK ends after their action is taken.
All heroes have a 25% chance to RESIST the following abilities: DISARM, IMMOBILE, KILL and STUN. If the RESIST succeeds, the effect fails.
Turn Order
Each player takes alternating turns, starting with the player who won the initiative.
The turn order for the heroes is random, as shown in the turn indicator.
Time Limit
You have 10 seconds to choose the action for the active hero. If the timer runs out, your hero moves ahead one zone, if possible, and then the timer for your next action is set to 5 seconds.
Heroes are unable to skip their action.
Ending the Game
The battle ends when all heroes on one team have been defeated.
If the battle lasts 3 minutes without a winner, zones in the arena burst into flame. Heroes standing in the flames have their MAX HP reduced. In this case, the battle ends when there is a clear winner.
Players cannot quit a battle in progress. If the player is accidentally disconnected, they can reconnect to the game if time remains
Rewards
There are three rewards for a Battle victory: Trophy Points, Battle Chests, and Brawl Chests.
Trophy Points
The winning player earns Trophy Points for their victory and the defeated player loses Trophy Points for their defeat.
Battle Chests
The winning player is also given a random Battle Chest for their reward. The number and kind of rewards in a Battle Chest depend on the chest type and the arena level.
Battle Chests are time-locked. Players can start the timer to open a Battle Chest from the available chest slots in the Yawning Portal. The amount of time required depends on the rarity of the chest. When the timer is complete, the chest can be opened for free.
Players can also spend gems to open a chest instantly. The cost depends on the amount of time remaining.
If the player starts a battle when all their chest slots are full, they will not receive a new chest in the event of a victory, but will receive all other rewards.
Brawl Chests
With every battle victory, players earn one point towards unlocking the Brawl Chest displayed in the Yawning Portal.
When the Brawl Chest gauge is full, the player can open the chest immediately and collect a reward. The Brawlmaster chest immediately goes on a 24-hour cooldown until it resets.
However, the player can continue earning points for battle victories and receive a second reward: either a coin bundle, or an additional chest (VIP only). This second reward must be collected before the cooldown timer ends. If the second reward is collected, then no more Brawl chest rewards can be collected until the timer ends.
Challenges are no longer the same length of 15 rooms. We’ve adjusted the length of the early challenges to keep the play time of the different game modes roughly equivalent:
- Sharpstone Keep - 9 rooms (2 rooms + Boss room) x3
- Frostsilver Mines - 9 rooms (2 rooms + Boss room) x3
- Hidden Forge - 12 rooms (3 rooms + Boss room) x3
- Harvestshield Mountain - 12 rooms (3 rooms + Boss room) x3
The contents of the New Hero and Equipment packs earned as Renown rewards have been updated and improved. Each Renown reward contains a greater number and variety of cards.
Hero abilities have been rebalanced in order to ensure that the playing field in Battle Mode is balanced and consistent with the Explore and Challenge modes.
